Overview
- An insider account from Alex Perez describes a selective “quick scrub” that would keep roughly 75–80% of existing continuity while reviving some characters and removing certain disliked plot points.
- Feige has publicly framed the shift as a reset rather than a reboot, emphasizing a singular timeline with the X‑Men flagged as the next focus for integration.
- Multiple outlets report the continuity changes are expected to hinge on Avengers: Doomsday in 2026 and Avengers: Secret Wars in 2027.
- Entertainment coverage cites returning Fox X‑Men actors for Doomsday, including reports naming Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen, though Marvel has not issued formal confirmations.
- Rumors span Robert Downey Jr. taking on Doctor Doom and Ryan Reynolds leading a mutants team‑up film, while speculation about restoring characters like Iron Man or Black Widow remains unconfirmed and contrasts with Scarlett Johansson’s stated reluctance to return.
